What happened
The pilot was conducting a night approach to runway 15 at a private airport. While on final approach, the airplane struck a tall tree located approximately 900 feet before the approach end of the runway. Following this initial impact, the aircraft struck additional trees and eventually came to rest in an inverted position inside a reservoir situated abeam of the runway approach end.
At the time of the accident, weather conditions included a gusty crosswind originating from the right, and rain was beginning to fall. The runway at the airport lacked any visual or electronic glideslope equipment to assist with vertical guidance.
